The Magnitude and Rate of Change of Cell Surface Functional Groups as Function of Salinity: Implication for Environments of Microbially-Facilitated Carbonate Formation
(University of Kansas, 2016-12-31)Microorganisms are an important component of many near surface aqueous environments with cell densities ranging between 104-107 cells ml-1. While many environments are geochemically altered by microbial metabolism, their ... -

Connections Between Fluvial To Shallow Marine Environments and Submarine Canyons: Implications For Sediment Transfer To Deep Water
(Society for Sedimentary Geology, 2016)The heads of submarine canyons represent a critical link in the transfer of sediment from terrestrial sources to deep basin sinks. Here we report data on grain size, bathymetry, and geochronology from twenty-five modern ... -
Connecting the Greenland Ice Sheet and the Ocean: A Case Study of Helheim Glacier and Sermilik Fjord
(Oceanography Society, 2016)The rapid ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet that began in the late 1990s sparked an interest in glacier/ocean exchanges both because an increase in submarine melting of the glacier is a potential trigger of glacier ... -
Neotectonics of the Western Nepal Fault System: Implications for Himalayan strain partitioning
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-12-22)Oblique convergence at the Himalayan margin is hypothesized to be partitioned by orogen-normal thrusting and orogen-parallel strike-slip faulting. We conducted field mapping and remote sensing in the Dhaulagiri Range of ... -
The impact of glacier geometry on meltwater plume structure and submarine melt in Greenland fjords
(American Geophysical Union, 2016-09-28)Meltwater from the Greenland Ice Sheet often drains subglacially into fjords, driving upwelling plumes at glacier termini. Ocean models and observations of submarine termini suggest that plumes enhance melt and undercutting, ... -
A highly weathered drift in the Kansas River Valley between Manhattan and Kansas City, Kansas

Permian scorpions from the Petrified Forest of Chemnitz, Germany
(BioMed Central, 2016-04-07)Background: Paleozoic scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones) have been widely documented from the Carboniferous Period; which hosts a remarkable assemblage of more than sixty species including both putative stem- and ... -
Relationships Between Foraminifera and Geomorphology: Holocene, Crooked-Acklins Platform, Southern Bahamas
(University of Kansas, 2016-08-31)Although general ecologic controls on the occurrence, growth and shape of foraminifera are well understood, the spatial patterns of foraminiferal distribution across carbonate isolated platforms and their relationship to ... -
Development and Testing of an In-well Point Velocity Probe for Preliminary Site Characterization
(University of Kansas, 2016-12-31)The in-well point velocity probe (IWPVP) is a novel device for the centimeter-scale measurement of groundwater velocity within the screened interval of a monitoring well. IWPVP measurements are based on the detection of a ... -
Contrasts in the response of adjacent fjords and glaciers to ice-sheet surface melt in West Greenland
(Cambridge Core, 2016-09)Neighboring tidewater glaciers often exhibit asynchronous dynamic behavior, despite relatively uniform regional atmospheric and oceanic forcings. This variability may be controlled by a combination of local factors, including ... -
Distribution of preferred ice crystal orientation determined from seismic anisotropy: Evidence from Jakobshavn Isbræ and the North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling facility, Greenland
(Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2016-02-16)Preferred crystal orientation fabrics (COFs) within an ice sheet or glacier are typically found from ice cores. We conducted experiments at the North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling (NEEM) facility ice core location, where ... -

A Chemostratigraphic and Detrital Zircon Geochronological Analysis of Upper Cretaceous Strata: Applications for Dating and Correlating Strata
(University of Kansas, 2015-05-31)Rates of sedimentation, length of hiatus, temporal relationships and absolute age of strata are all difficult to determine in clastic non-marine and shallow marine environments due to their erosive and rapidly fluctuating ... -
Exploring the Relationship between Paleobiogeography, Deep-Diving Behavior, and Size Variation of the Parietal Eye in Mosasaurs
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)The parietal eye (PE) in modern squamates (Reptilia) plays a major role in regulating body temperature, maintaining circadian rhythms, and orientation via the solar axis. This study is the first to determine the role, if ... -
Controls on Geomorphology and Sedimentology of Shoreface-Beach Ridge-Lagoon Systems on a Low-Energy Carbonate Ramp: Holocene, Northwestern Yucatan Shelf, Mexico
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)Abstract Whereas Holocene carbonate accumulations of isolated platforms and rimmed shelves are well-understood, modern carbonate ramps have not been as extensively studied. Yet, many ancient successions consist of fine-grained ... -

Sequence Stratigraphy and Depositional Controls on Oligocene-Miocene Caribbean Carbonate-Dominated Systems, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic
(University of Kansas, 2016-12-31)The first part of this dissertation (Chapter 2) focuses on 87Sr/86Sr-derived mean ages for selected Oligocene-Miocene carbonate and siliciclastic units in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Results indicate ages of ...
